My First BDJ Box

A mere 3 days after subscribing, I already received my BDJ Box. Isn't that cool or what?! I actually expected it to be sent next month and was surprised when the package arrived yesterday. I can't believe I got so many items for only P480. Plus, every product in the box is something that I can use. I really got more than I bargained for. So happy!  

My BDJ Box contains the following products:

L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Daily Repairing Treatment (50 ml)
Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Active Multi-action Scrub (50 ml)

A BDJ Box for All

I read a blog post about the BDJ Box and immediately subscribed right away. It really looks as though I'm gonna get my money's worth or better yet I paid so much less than the true value of a box full of top notch beauty products. Among the featured brands are Benefit Cosmetics, Calvin Klein Fragrances, L'Oreal Paris, Garnier, Pevonia Botanica, Guerlain, Shiseido, Schwarzkopf, Syoss, and Yves Rocher. For those who haven't heard of the BDJ Box, it's a box containing 5-6 beauty items (specifically hand-picked for your skin and hair needs) delivered right at your doorstep once you subscribe. You can then make reviews of the products and earn points that you can use later on.

I paid P480 for a 1 month prepaid subscription which is renewable monthly. There are prepaid and postpaid subscription plans to choose from. Subscribers can pay through these payment methods:  

BPI, BDO, Metrobank, RCBC, Unionbank, Chinabank, EastWest, UCPB, PNB, GCash, Smart Money, Bancnet, Megalink, LBC, SM Retail Group, Paypal Money

I'm pretty excited to get my box soon. If you want to subscribe or simply check out the other details, please visit BDJ Box.

My Tag Heuer New Link Women's Pink Dial Steel Watch

I received this as a gift on my birthday. I love it that's why I wear it most of the time. It looks perfect on my wrist and the pink dial design is really cute and so feminine. It doesn't look like other Tag Heuer watches that were designed with so much going on, so much frills. This watch is very simple and yet elegant. But nevertheless you can wear it with any outfit, be it casual or formal. This quartz watch is water resistant at two hundred meters so you can wear it even when you're out swimming. You don't have to take it off every so often. It's made from solid steel and has a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. My watch's bezel is unidirectional and the dial has luminescent hands and hour markers. So even if you're in the dark, it's not difficult to see what time it is. The bracelet is also made of steel and the double safety clasp with folding buckle totally keeps the watch in place on my wrist.

Our Red Crab Photos

I almost forgot to post these photos I took when my bestfriend and I ate at Red Crab at the Newport Mall. I can't even remember when we ate there. I know that it's late afternoon that's why we only ate pasta and salad (we eat like horses when we have lunch, hehe). Just thought I'd share them. :)

Dairy Queen GCs

I really am lucky when it comes to contests and raffles. There are a lot of instances when I win and I'm so thankful to God for being so blessed. I just claimed my P1,000 Dairy Queen GC from the contest I won from Yummy.ph. I'm so excited because I love ice cream and Dairy Queen has a lot of products that are worth tasting. I'll probably use the GCs this coming weekend :)

Earning via Fiverr

I recently signed up with this site called Fiverr. It's a global online marketplace offering tasks and services usually for only $5. Business owners and freelancers can use Fiverr to sell their services while customers in need of services can find and commission that service directly through the site. There are tons of services available on the site that range from funny and weird to business-related services. For $5 someone may be hired to do a custom video makeup tutorial, promote a website, make a logo for a business, or advertise a website on his Facebook and Twitter followers. I posted a "gig" offering my ghost writing services. I hope someone responds soon. This could be a really nice way to earn some bucks.

Loving The Walking Dead

I'm a big fan of the series The Walking Dead. Last night's premiere episode for Season 3 on Fox was totally worth the wait (season 2 ended in mid 2012) and gives viewers a glimpse of how exciting this season will be. There are new characters and bigger obstacles and challenges for Rick, Lori, Carl, Glenn, Daryl, Carol, T-Dog, Maggie, Beth, and Hershel. There are definitely a lot of things to look forward to this season. I can't wait for next week's episode. I wonder if Hershel will survive being bitten by a zombie and getting his leg amputated by Rick. I kinda feel irritated with Rick because he shouldn't have brought Hershel to clear out the prison. Oh well, let's just tune in next week and see what happens.

There's a new groupon site in town. Deal Market is the first Philippine website that provides consumers with an effective online solution to easily buy and sell vouchers.

1. Get a portion of your money back from deals.
2. Sell hot deals at a higher cost.
3. Access to a huge marketplace of potential buyers.
4. Exposure of your deal For Sale until one day before the last day of its validity.
5. Be able to easily promote your deal in the website to Facebook and Twitter.
6. Hassle-free online transaction. No need for eye-balling. Give your deal to a potential buyer and get paid online.

For buyers:

1. Avail most if not all of the available deals NOW!
2. Easily search for deals which you may have missed.

I'm a member of Wordlinx and I received an email from them that they're going to launch a new online earning site. It's called Refban or Referral Banners.

You automatically get $10 for signing up during their pre-launch stage. Referral Banners will be live in early 2013. Their system is still in development but members can already start building their downline by using their unique referral link. Cashouts will be handled by PayPal and Payza after launch. Hurry and register now while they're still in their pre-launch stage to get your free $10.

Papa John's Pizza Discount Coupons

Since it's examination week once again, I've been busy with my tutoring job, making reviewers etc. It's really quite stressful and frustrating at times. But the fact that it's the kids' semestral break next week gives me a lot of comfort :) I'll have more time to relax and do other things. Good thing my sister bought a Papa John's Pizza brochure full of discount coupons for only P399. I'll be able to use those for a sumptuous meal with my nephew. He loves pizza and pasta and he eats with so much gusto that every meal is enjoyable with him. We'll try all their pizzas (Pepperoni, Garden Special, Simply Cheese, Hawaiian, and Margherita) and pasta (Carbonara, Seafood Carbonara, Meatball Bolognaise, and Diablo Burst). They also have Baked Italian Meatballs, Potato Wedges, Mozzarella Sticks, and Battered Onion Rings as well as Italian Sodas. They have a lot of cool discount deals which you can avail of at all their branches. 

Fiverr Tasks

I don't know if any of you guys have heard of Fiverr. It's an online earning site where you post things that you are willing to do in exchange for $5. It may be work related tasks or any silly stuff. You can post just about any task that you can think of. Fiverr is said to be the world's largest marketplace for small services. I've only signed up yesterday so I have yet to show you guys any payment proof. I saw one of my FB friend's payment proof though. It's completely free to join this site so hop in if you want to earn those extra bucks. They pay via Paypal.

The Face Shop The Smim Special Set

I cleaned my room yesterday and found some beauty products that I bought but haven't used yet. Hoarding beauty products that I don't really need is one habit that I'm trying to curb. Have to save up some moolah for the coming holiday season :) Anyhow, I found this The Face Shop The Smim Special Set (toner and emulsion) inside my drawer. I haven't figured out yet if I'm gonna use it or give it as a prize in the blog giveaway I'm planning. 

My New Starmobile Engage Tablet

Finally, I bought myself a tablet yesterday that I can use for random stuff after my netbook gets "tired". I actually bought it for the specific reason of using it to read ebooks. I contemplated on buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab but it's too expensive just to be used as an ebook reader. I wanted something simpler and of course more budget friendly. The Starmobile Engage tablet has a lot of features that makes its price of P5,990 quite worth it. Here are some of them:

 1.)  7.0" Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
 2.)  Capacitive Multi Touch Display
 3.)  WiFi
 4.)  3 MP Camera
 5.)  Multimedia (MP3 Player, Voice Recorder, supports Flash Player)
 6.)  Social Media (Facebook, MSN, Twitter, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, YouTube)
 7.)  Expandable memory up to 32 GB
 8.)  Google Play Store
 9.)  Supports USB Modem
10.)  Up to 100 hours standby time and 3 hours video time

AVA Chanel Bag Giveaway

Since I'm not rich, I can't buy bags from luxury brands. So when I saw that AVA was giving away a Chanel bag, I just couldn't pass up the chance to win one. For those who don't know what AVA is, it's an online marketplace selling premium brands. They sell a wide variety of items like apparel, shoes, bags, accessories, jewelry, and home products.

Getting back to the Chanel giveaway, you'll instantly get 100 raffle entries by just registering at AVA and once you shop and have a minimum purchase of P1,000 you get 10 raffle entries. The contest will be until November 12, 2012.

3.) You are currently a salaried employee and have a bank account.

1.) Go to www.lenddo.co

2.) Fill out the membership form and upload a photo.

3.) Connect your social networks.

4.) Invite your friends and family members.

5.) Apply for a loan.

Lancome Renergie Microlift RARE Intense Targeted Repostioning Lifter

My mom gave me this Lancome Renergie Microlift RARE Intense Targeted Repostioning Lifter (15 ml.) tube a few days ago but I haven't gotten to trying it. I've read reviews about it and all of them are raving about this product. I promise to write my own review once I open that tube. The Lancome Renergie Microlift RARE Intense Targeted Repostioning Lifter retails at $19.99 at Amazon.com.

Stack Bangles

I already received my cute stack bangles from Collective.com which I won from Zalora Philippines' Share to Own contest on Facebook. This will definitely look great on any outfit. I can't wait to wear them. Hurry over to Zalora's FB page and join. Who knows you might be the next winner of a cute item from any of Zalora's numerous merchants. 

Lazada Purchase

This morning the Kingston Jar Shape Table Lamp that I ordered from Lazada Online Shop arrived. It's so cute and I love it! It's definitely going to bring some color to my rather boring room :) It only costs P320 and was delivered within 2 days. I'm planning on buying more items from Lazada because shopping is so easy and they accept Paypal and credit cards. You can even pay cash upon delivery of the item.  

MasterChef 2012

Even though I don't know how to cook I always watch cooking shows like Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, and shows at the Food Network. I've seen several seasons of Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen but this is the first time I'm watching MasterChef. It's the third season of the hit show hosted by Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich, and Graham Elliot. It's very addicting to watch because of the challenges that the contestants face and their different personalities. Plus, I really like Gordon Ramsay, although I prefer his "evil" temperament on Hell's Kitchen. I guess this season is more interesting because of its first blind contestant Christine Ha (who eventually won). This woman is amazing. Gordon even asked her in one episode if she's really blind because the dish she cooked was both delicious and aesthetically appealing. Last Monday's episode made me cry because Gordon told her that she should stop putting herself down and be more confident (something to that effect). I tell you the drama in this show is better than the local "teleseryes" we have. 

MasterChef Season 3 is aired every Saturdays and Sundays 1:00 - 3:00 PM, Replays: Mondays 10:00 PM, Wednesdays 5:00 PM at the Lifestyle Network.

Landslide

I so love this song by Stevie Nicks...

Landslide

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Mmm Mmm...


Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too


(Guitar solo)

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too

So, take my love, take it down
Oh climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down

And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
Oh oh, the landslide will bring it down
